A Systematic Literature Review of Physical Activity-Based Health Programs for Indigenous Women

However, obesity and chronic disease literature for Indigenous women focusing on PA…
Testing terror management theory in advanced cancer
Death anxiety is common in advanced cancer due to heightened mortality salience. We tested terror management theory (TMT) in this population ( N = 305) by evaluating the buffering effect of the distal defenses (attachment security, meaning, self-esteem) on the impact of physical impairment (a proxy for mortality salience) on death anxiety. Patients with greater numbers of strong distal defenses reported lower death anxiety than those with no stro…
